By integrating this perspective with cross-cultural mobile marketing, our study explores the role of valenced emotions aroused by cultural elements within the app and further affective contagion effects, culture affinity as antecedent, and cross-cultural factors that may affect these evaluations. Based on three evaluative conditioning experiments with foreign users in China, we found the valenced emotion aroused by cultural elements in local apps (movie posters, media content, products) triggers a contagion effect on their attitudes toward the app. Moreover, we validate the role of culture affinity in providing ex-ante emotional associations during the appraisal process, the negative impact of language foreignness, and the interaction between app origin and political ideology. Our findings hold practical implications for app developers and marketers, particularly regarding the relationship between emotion and cultural bias in global markets.Keywords: Affective contagionmobile appscross-cultural mobile marketingevaluative conditioningforeign users Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 A small proportion of respondents (n = 6, 7%) belong to Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, i.e., countries that share similar cultural aspects with China.","PeriodicalId":15832,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Marketing","volume":"222 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135476520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, a system of seven hypotheses embedded in a conceptual framework is proposed and empirically tested. Constructs have been assessed using a structured questionnaire with 365 respondents. Partial least squares structural equation modeling is used to test the hypotheses. The study’s findings reveal that nostalgic brand positioning has a significant impact on brand iconness and brand resurrection, both have the effect of influencing purchase intention, and purchase intention has an impact on e-WOM. Hence, the moderation results suggest that the effects of nostalgic brand positioning on brand iconness and brand resurrection are more prominent for local brands than national ones. Additionally, a multigroup analysis was conducted to identify the effect of generational cohorts. This study provides valuable information for marketing professionals in terms of designing and implementing effective strategies to revive iconic brands, especially local ones, and promote purchase intentions through the benefit of word-of-mouth through social media.Keywords: Brand resurrectionbrand iconnessnostalgic brand positioningpurchase intentione-WOM Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.","PeriodicalId":15832,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Marketing","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135666894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the theory of trying, the model adds the mechanism of attitudes toward success, failure, and the process to the customer engagement—intention to co-create relationship. The results from two culturally distant regions, represented by the United States and Brazil, partially support the model and demonstrate the moderating impact of trust on the customer engagement—attitudes relationships. Surprisingly, few differences emerged between the two countries. An exception being the relationship between customer engagement and intention to co-create through attitude toward the process was stronger in the United States than Brazil.

Empirical results revealed that both strategic variables and leadership variables were positively related to competitive advantage, which, in turn, influenced firm performance. The influence of societal culture was evident in our results in that relationships among antecedents of firm performance were denser for U.S. than they were for Chinese firms.

The study employs a hybrid methodology, combining Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling approaches. Data were collected from 237 Algerian consumers through snowball sampling and an online survey. The results indicate that consumer ethnocentrism, consumer animosity, product quality judgment, and perceived price significantly influence willingness to buy domestic cosmetic products. The ANN results support these findings, revealing that consumer ethnocentrism is the key predictor factor with the greatest normalized importance ratio. Furthermore, a significant mediating role of product quality judgment was found in the relationship between consumer ethnocentrism, perceived price, and willingness to buy domestic cosmetic products. The study provides insights for marketers interested in the Algerian market, helping them to better understand consumer behavior, particularly in the context of cosmetics products.
